Just took a pic. It's not dark green enough now that I see it in sunlight. I looked at them yesterday after the sun was down past the trees and thought they were darker. Plant is about 15 inches tall. I've tried growing peppers before here and always get stunted growth and tiny fruits. I mixed some wood ash with water and used that on these plants a few weeks ago it they suddenly had a growth spurt. I need to get a soil test and likely lime. Blueberries grow wild here. Web Soil Survey estimates mid 5 on the pH for this area.

Have had quite a few Barry's Crazy Cherry - yellow - not a lot of flavor. Got one Yellow Pear tomato and those are good. Got one Chadwick and one Rosella that are almost ripe but 100 degree temps will probably slow the ripening process to a crawl. This heat wave summer is killing me. 10+ foot long vines. Half as many fruits as I should have due to blossom drop from the heat and the fruits I am getting are going at a snail's pace.

Just did a web search for "shisito peppers size" and it looks like I'm not too far off.(depending on one's hand size LOL)

I took a nap was so tired I forgot about the pic. Those are too small. Will send it soon.

Here are some of mine from 2020. I was inundated with just 3 plants. This year I have 4 and 2 of them are doubles. This pic is from a day's picking. My problem, I should have let a few mature longer. Yes they will turn red but I always ate them before, thinking the seeds would be fine. But none of the seed germinated in 2021. This year I will for sure let some go. It's almost impossible to find shishito pepper plants in west Michigan. I wound up ordering 2 from Bonnie (grower) online. They were pricey but I was at my wits end. A short trip for me. Anyway when their website says 1 plant they ship 2 so I got a total of 4 beautiful plants and 2 of them were doubles in one pot. Bonus! Enjoy your peppers.

Shishito pepper. Almost fully grown, another 1 1/2" or so. They sell them as a specialty pepper here.

I do not dislike bell peppers, but I have been going with smaller peppers that mature faster, Italian roasters or Romanian Sheep nose. Get them earlier and get more of them.
